{"title":"Particle Argon IoT Development Board (Wi-Fi+Mesh+Bluetooth)","handle":"particle-argon-iot-development-board-wi-fi-mesh-bluetooth","url":"/products/particle-argon-iot-development-board-wi-fi-mesh-bluetooth","description":"The Particle Argon is a powerful Wi-Fi enabled development board that combines mesh networking and Wi-Fi over the 2.4 GHz band. It can operate as a standalone Wi-Fi endpoint or as a Wi-Fi gateway for a Particle Mesh network.\n\nBuilt around the Nordic nRF52840 processor, the Argon delivers excellent performance for IoT applications. It includes large-capacity flash, RAM, native USB support, and built-in Li-Po battery charging circuitry. All Particle hardware integrates with the Particle Device Cloud, providing over-the-air firmware updates, a REST API, and firmware development via web and local IDEs.\n\n\nNote: Breadboard and USB cable are not included.\n\n\nKey Features\n\n\nDual Wireless – Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 5 with mesh networking\n\nNordic nRF52840 SoC – ARM Cortex-M4F @ 64 MHz with 1 MB flash and 256 KB RAM\n\nESP32 Wi-Fi Coprocessor – Espressif ESP32-D0WD with on-board 4 MB flash, up to 150 Mbps\n\nAdditional Storage – 2 MB SPI flash on-board\n\n20 Mixed-Signal GPIO – 6× analogue, 8× PWM, UART, I2C, SPI\n\nBuilt-in Battery Charging – Integrated Li-Po charging with battery connector\n\nSecurity – ARM TrustZone CryptoCell-310 cryptographic module\n\nNFC-A Tag – Built-in NFC support\n\nFlexible Antenna Options – On-board PCB antenna plus U.FL connectors for external antennas (one for Thread/BLE, one for Wi-Fi)\n\nCompact Design – 51 × 23 × 15.5 mm, 8.8 g\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nProcessor: Nordic nRF52840 – ARM Cortex-M4F @ 64 MHz\n\nWi-Fi: ESP32-D0WD – 802.11 b/g/n, up to 150 Mbps\n\nBluetooth: Bluetooth 5 – 2 Mbps, 1 Mbps, 500 Kbps, 125 Kbps\n\nIEEE 802.15.4: 250 Kbps\n\nTX Power: Up to +8 dBm (down to −20 dBm in 4 dB steps)\n\nFlash: 1 MB (nRF52840) + 4 MB (ESP32) + 2 MB SPI\n\nRAM: 256 KB\n\nUSB: Micro USB 2.0 full speed (12 Mbps)\n\nGPIO: 20 mixed-signal (6× analogue, 8× PWM)\n\nInterfaces: UART, I2C, SPI, JTAG (SWD)\n\nCertifications: FCC, CE, IC certified; RoHS compliant\n\nDimensions: 51 × 23 × 15.5 mm\n\nWeight: 8.8 g\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nIoT prototyping and connected device development\nWi-Fi gateway for Particle Mesh networks\nBattery-powered wireless sensor nodes\nCloud-connected projects with OTA firmware updates\n\n\nResources\n\nQuickstart Guide\nDatasheet\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":4728,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-DFR0611","price":67.07,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
